Intro: Bb F Gm C F

Verse 1:
Bb          F          Bb  F
Blue Ridge Mountains, late September
           Eb                      C
Watch the clouds come and kiss the ground
Bb       F      Bb     F
Like an angel, I'm delivered
       Eb       C       F
I was lost but now I'm found
Bb         F      Bb      F
Bless the waters, bless the forest
Bb          Eb                C
Bless the springtime, so long ago
Bb         F            Bb       F
Bless the daughters of all the fathers
           Eb     C        F
Bless the way we all grow old

Chorus:
Bb                     F
When the clouds come, take the mountains
Am                                  Bb
It's 'cause there's nowhere else to go
Gm                   C
When the rain pours like a fountain
Eb              C              Bb
Feels like I'm up against the ropes
           Gm
And if my life's a one-way ticket
C                           Bb  C  F
Then I know which way I'll go, oh

Instrumental: Bb F Gm C F

Verse 2:
Bb           F       Bb      F
Well, I was walking with my father
Bb   F           Eb     C
Just beneath the harvest moon
Bb             F
And he said, "My son, you must live quickly
             Eb     C       F
'Cause your time is coming soon"

Chorus:
Bb                     F
When the clouds come, take the mountains
Am                                  Bb
It's 'cause there's nowhere else to go
Gm                   C
When the rain pours like a fountain
Eb              C              Bb
Feels like I'm up against the ropes
           Gm
And if my life's a one-way ticket
C                           Bb  C  F
Then I know which way I'll go, oh
